BlackBerry Users Are Getting Their Own Siri-Like Assistant Soon

Though a bit late to the game, Blackberry has just announced its own voice assistant app to compete with Apple's Siri, and the company is calling it BlackBerry Assistant.

BlackBerry is toting the voice assistant's accuracy and compatibility "with any Bluetooth device," as well as the option to make the app hands-free.

The app features a hands-free option which will enable people to hear emails read back and even mark them unread — all without having to touch their phone. BlackBerry Assistant also executes many of its dictated tasks from within the app itself, which keeps things tidy.
